This fall, Placerville will be the place to be for anyone who might enjoy a California twist on a traditional, German, Oktoberfest experience.
The planners have crafted an agenda full of activities for all ages. It will run throughout the afternoon and into the evening and is being hosted by the Placerville Downtown Association.
Plans include demonstrations of Bavarian dance and music, and there will be a special family area where younger guests can play games and have fun. Guests can cheer on their favorite in the wiener dog races, and there will also be German food on offer.
While the occasion will have a Bavarian theme, the wines featured will be produced in El Dorado County. Offerings from area craft breweries will be on tap, and attendees can relax in the wine garden while they enjoy their drink. An assortment of vendors will also be on hand for the crowd browse through, and anybody interested in being a part of the fun will not need to register ahead of time to come to the event.
This will be the eighth year that the celebration has been held in Placerville. A local printer can be called upon to provide out of the box thinking when it comes to designing promotional products for this type of function.
Oktoberfest has been planned for September 22nd. More details can be found on its online listing.
August 29, 2018 - Placerville, CA - A recent alleged gang related shooting in Georgetown, CA has regulated cannabis advocates asking for immediate enactment of ordinances contained within November’s El Dorado County ballot measures N, P, Q, R and S.
“Alcohol prohibition resulted in more organized crime during the 1930s and cannabis prohibition provides an opportunity for organized crime today,” points Rod Miller, Chairperson for the Yes on Measures N, P, Q, R and S campaign in El Dorado County. “If residents want to reduce the risk of organized crime, in our County, then they need to vote Yes on measures N, P, Q, R and S. The legal, fully permitted and regulated cannabis industry will out-compete illegal cannabis activity in the same way that our wine industry, today, out-competes illegal wine production activity,” asserts Rod Miller. “Measures N, P, Q, R and S will use the tax and fee funds, from the legal permitted and highly regulated cannabis industry, for new code enforcement and law enforcement to attack illegal cannabis activity in the county.”
“State voters have approved commercial cannabis. El Dorado County and it's policymakers should immediately adopt the ordinances contained within measures N, P, Q, R and S to provide protection to our communities against gangster grows,” states Miller “The county has over 2000 cannabis growing operations. It is senseless to not use the market incentive and the State regulatory system to get these growers into the legal market. If they were in the state system they would be registered and subject to inspections through the County and State. Measures in N, P, Q, R and S also contain fines of up to $25,000 per violation to give the County the tools to attack illegal cannabis grows. The County does not have the money to go and inspect 2000 grow operations. It is only through measures N, P, Q, R and S that the County will have the resources to do the enforcement necessary to protect our communities,” asserts Miller.
The County estimates that when implemented, measures N, P, Q, R and S will generate approximately $4 million that can be used for enforcement and community programs. The public can learn more about measures N, P, Q, R and S on the November ballot by going to yesonpqrs.org

Placerville, CA – Placerville Police arrest Jeremy Sousa for stabbing a man in Benham Park.
On August 29th, 2018, Placerville Police Officers were dispatched to a report of a stabbing that had just occurred at Benham Park around 9:45 pm. When officers arrived at the park they located the transient, male victim, identified as 25 year old Anthony Ryan, with multiple stab wounds in his torso. The victim was transported to the hospital for his injuries. The suspect had fled the scene prior to officers’ arrival.
Witnesses at the park reported to officers that they believed the two subjects were “play fighting”. Ryan then approached them and told them he had just been stabbed. Witnesses helped the victim call 9-1-1. The witnesses provided officers with a street moniker of “Youngster” or “Frodo” for the suspect. Based on the information provided, Jeremy Sousa (DOB 12/26/93) was identified as the possible suspect.
Placerville Police Officers searched the area for Sousa and were able to locate him in the area of 519 Placerville Drive at 11:22 pm. Sousa, who is also a known transient, was arrested and booked at El Dorado County Jail for Penal Code 245 (a) (1) - Assault with a deadly weapon.

This week, the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office was informed about a protest which was being planned at the Union Mine High School Football game tonight, August 31, 2018. The protest was due to a recent arrest which occurred on school grounds.
Threats of a protest increased through out the week, with rumor that some expressed the desire to incite violence, including bringing firearms to the school. EDSO School Resource Officers investigated the rumors and found no conclusive evidence to corroborate these threats. The Sheriff's Office planned on staffing the event tonight with more personnel, prepared for any protests.
We worked closely with Union Mine High School to ensure the safety of the students on our campuses. The school also provided information about the protests to Douglas High School who was playing against Union Mine tonight. Douglas High School decided to cancel the game after hearing about the threats of protest.
At this time, the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office is not aware of any threats to the community or schools.
We are extremely grateful for the donation of the first annual Heritage Hog from 4-H member, Jarrett Darrah. Darrah, from Southside Topnotch 4-H club is also an active member in the newest ag chapter in El Dorado County – Union Mine FFA.
As a Senior at Union Mine High school, Darrah is currently exploring his college opportunities to pursue a career as an architect while competing in cheer/gymnastics.
Jarrett raises his livestock projects alongside his sister, Payton Darrah, who is also a 4-H member of Southside Topnotch 4-H club and a member of the Union Mine FFA.
Thank you to all of the 4-H and FFA exhibitors for the hard work you all put into raising your animals and being a vital part of El Dorado County Fair.
Heritage Hog, Fair 2018
Our heritage hog, turned out to be the 4-H reserve champion, donated by Southside Topnotch 4-H member, Jarrett Darrah, and brought $10 per pound. Purchased by Sweeney Surveying and Clifton & Warren for $2150 plus add-on buyers equaling $13,700, for a total contribution of $15,945! An amazing first year for the Heritage Hog.

Placerville, CA – Mt Democrat "Staff" writer gets it wrong in rush to get the story. In a cancern about safety of students over alleged threats of a "protest" held at the opening of football game hosted at Union Mine High School the Mt Democrat's headline read, "Union Mine cancels football for the sake of safety." This was incorrect, it was the Douglas High School administrators that pulled out of the scheduled game.
Due to mechanic issues with printing on paper, before the news can be spread a story was written on Thursday in order to be in the "Friday" edition of a printed newspaper. In the printed news trade this is called, putting the paper "to Bed" referring to the deadline needed to account for the time it takes to print and distribute printed paper newspapers.
The Mt Democrat wrote a story about the game cancellation that included an attempt to reach many key officials to create a story before the paper was put to bed and included this statement, "As of publication the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office had not responded to requests for additional information and calls to Neville were directed to voice mail [sic]." Paul Neville is the Union Mine principal.
The paper Tagged this story as, "breakingnews" and did a fairly informative story about the alleged protest due a recent arrest that occurred on school grounds, but missed a key fact that was cleared up by a later media release issued by the EDSO after an investigation was more complete. Even with pressure of publishing deadlines, few law enforcement agencies will issue statements prior to a complete investigation, cautious not to make a "rush to judgement."
On Friday August 31, 2018 at 4:35 PM the Sheriff's Office issued a statement that provided the information that filled the void in the newspaper's knowledge leading to the error. Shortly after, on August 31, 2018 at 4:56 pm, the newspaper "updated" their online story but still failed to correct a key point, it was not Union Mine High School that backed out of the football game, but it was Douglas High School who was scheduled to play against Union Mine that cancelled.
In order to provide accurate information about local law enforcement the Sheriff's Office issued this statement:
via Sergeant Anthony Prencipe, EDSO.
"This week, the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office was informed about a protest which was being planned at the Union Mine High School Football game tonight, August 31, 2018. The protest was due to a recent arrest which occurred on school grounds.
Threats of a protest increased through out the week, with rumor that some expressed the desire to incite violence, including bringing firearms to the school. EDSO School Resource Officers investigated the rumors and found no conclusive evidence to corroborate these threats. The Sheriff's Office planned on staffing the event tonight with more personnel, prepared for any protests.
We worked closely with Union Mine High School to ensure the safety of the students on our campuses. The school also provided information about the protests to Douglas High School who was playing against Union Mine tonight. Douglas High School decided to cancel the game after hearing about the threats of protest.
At this time, the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office is not aware of any threats to the community or schools."

INFORMATION REPORT REGARDING THIRD PARTY THREATS TO SHOOT SOMEONE.
Survivors discover surprising benefits in the process of healing from a traumatic event.
When Army surgeon Rhonda Cornum regained consciousness after her helicopter crashed, she looked up to see five Iraqi soldiers pointing rifles at her. It was 1991 and her Black Hawk had been shot down over the Iraqi desert. Dazed from blood loss, with a busted knee and two broken arms, the then-36-year-old medic was subjected to a mock execution by her captors, sexually assaulted, and kept prisoner in a bunker for a week.
Her crisis included textbook causes for post-traumatic stress—a near-death experience, sexual assault, utter helplessness—and yet, after her release and medical rehabilitation, she surprised psychiatrists by focusing on ways she improved. “I became a better doctor, a better parent, a better commander, probably a better person,” she says. One might suspect Cornum was suppressing the real toll of her ordeal, but her experience is far from unique.
“Post-traumatic growth,” a term coined by University of North Carolina psychologists Richard Tedeschi and Lawrence Calhoun, describes the surprising benefits many survivors discover in the process of healing from a traumatic event. After counseling bereaved parents, people who had lost the loves of their lives or were severely injured, cancer survivors, veterans, and prisoners, the researchers found growth in five main areas: personal strength, deeper relationships with others, new perspectives on life, appreciation of life, and spirituality.
Post-traumatic stress disorder gets more attention, but post-traumatic growth is much more common. Tedeschi found that as many as 90 percent of survivors from all walks of life report at least one aspect of growth. “But it is important to make clear that not everybody experiences growth, and we are not implying that traumatic events are a good thing,” Tedeschi stresses. “They are not. In the wake of trauma, people become more aware of the futility in life, and that unsettles some while it focuses others. This is the paradox of growth: People become more vulnerable yet stronger.”
Tedeschi estimates that most of us—almost 90 percent, according to his calculations—will experience one or more traumatic events during our lifetimes. For instance, 1.6 million people are diagnosed with cancer each year. About 3 million Americans are injured or disabled in traffic crashes. Many women have experienced sexual assault. Although most people will suffer from post-traumatic stress in the aftermath of trauma, few will develop the full-blown disorder, and even of those, most will heal with therapy and time.

Richard Williams on a transport aircraft after her release by the Iraqi government during Operation Desert Storm in 1991. She retired in 2012 as a brigadier general. Photo from Corbis Historical/Getty Images.
Tedeschi rejects the designation “disorder” because of the stigma the term carries. “When someone crashes their car against a wall at 60 miles per hour, they’ll have many broken bones. Do we say they have a broken bone disorder? They have an injury. Same with trauma survivors; they have been injured. Psychologically injured, maybe morally injured.”
Psychiatrists and psychologists have focused on the negative impact of trauma; after all, they’re trained to track the symptoms, what’s wrong. But this deficit model adversely impacts survivors. Many trauma survivors simply assume that they are damaged forever. In reality, although we likely do carry a traumatic event with us forever—in our minds and bodies—we can heal and even thrive.
Cornum is convinced that resilience is like a muscle that strengthens when exercised and atrophies when neglected.
Together with specialists, she initiated a comprehensive resilience training that ran its first pilot program in 2009. Every single U.S. Army soldier now participates in the $160 million program, which has been shown to significantly decrease substance abuse and increase optimism, good coping skills, adaptability, and character strength. The training is so successful that psychologists are convinced that it can help not only soldiers, but people from all walks of life.
Here are strategies trauma psychologists have found particularly helpful to turn struggle into strength:
1. Mindfulness
At the resilience boot camp in Philadelphia, soldiers start each day with mindfulness meditation and breathing exercises. Because the most common PTSD treatments—medication and psychotherapy—only work for about half the survivors, the army is experimenting with alternative methods, and meditation has proven to be one of the most promising. Harvard neurobiologist Sara Lazar has shown that “meditation can literally change your brain.” It can actually shrink the amygdala, the “fear center” in our brain that might be enlarged after a trauma and trigger flashbacks of anxiety and panic.
2 . Vulnerability
Post-traumatic growth is not the opposite of post-traumatic stress. Rather, the stress is the engine that fuels the growth. Before we can overcome suffering, we need to go through it. Covering up a raw wound with a smiley face Band-Aid does not lessen the pain. Neither does suffering in silence, which only increases the risk of PTSD. Instead, growth arises from acknowledging the wounds and allowing vulnerability. A significant part of the training consists of teaching survivors to communicate openly, admit fears, and reach out to seek help.
3. Self-compassion
Shame, self-blame, and guilt are all too common in the aftermath of trauma. Practices of self-compassion and loving kindness under the gentle guidance of an experienced, trauma-informed instructor can allow survivors to reconnect with parts of themselves that have been wounded, at their own pace.
4. Finding meaning
“After trauma, it’s important to acknowledge mental suffering will happen,” Tedeschi instructs. “At a certain point, and in tandem with continuing distress, a crucial foundation of post-traumatic growth is making meaning out of and reflecting about one’s trauma.” As Auschwitz survivor Viktor Frankl realized, “Those who have a ‘why’ to live can bear with almost any ‘how.’”
5. Gratitude
One of the single most effective practices for resilience is keeping a journal of gratitude. The army calls it “Hunt the Good Stuff,” but the exercise is the same: noticing three good things every day and reflecting on them. According to studies at the University of California, Davis, grateful people not only report that they are more satisfied, optimistic, and content with their lives, but they also have fewer medical symptoms, more energy, and even sleep better. In addition, cultivating gratitude improves our mood, and makes us more social and willing to help others.
6. A holistic approach
Dr. Karen Reivich, the co-director of the Penn Resiliency Project, and her team teach 14 core skills, such as goal setting, energy management, problem solving, and assertive communication. “When people have mastered and used these skills in their lives, they are more robust in the face of stress, they can cope more effectively with problems, and they have tools to be able to maintain strong relationships. So, the goal is to enhance the overall well-being and resilience,” Reivich explains.
7. A team effort
“Nobody ever does it alone,” civil rights icon Maya Angelou recognized, years after being raped at the age of 8. Resilience is always a team effort. Moving forward after a crisis depends not only on the individual’s resources and their genetic makeup or upbringing, but also on their connections to the people around them and the quality of support. The best kind of support encourages survivors to focus on their strength but doesn’t gloss over their wounds. Nothing is as powerful as knowing we are not alone.

Favorite Quote: “Let him who thirsts for knowledge go out upon the broad face of the earth, and he will find that it is not out of books alone that he can get it; let him make use of the eyes that God has given him, and he will see more in the world’s unwritten revelations than the mind of man hath conceived.”J. Ross Browne – Washington D.C. February 1853.
I’ve spent years studying and teaching geology and the history of the Mother Lode. Today, however, I’m switching to a different history, the history of agriculture in El Dorado County, and why our county agriculture may suffer a devastating setback, worse than the pear blight or prohibition.
In 1904 our county grew 2,100 acres of wine grapes. Prohibition, however, killed the wine industry. By 1966 only 11 acres of wine grapes were grown in our county. The early 1970s began a rebirth of county grape growing. Greg Boeger purchased Lombardo/Fossatti Winery in 1973. Our county has been adding grape acreage and wineries every year since, reaching nearly 100 wineries today.
County farmers began growing pears around 1900, with production growing to 52,000 tons in 1958. Then pear blight killed that industry, reducing county pear production to just 8,435 tons in 1965. The death of the pear industry started the next chapter in El Dorado County’s agricultural history, the birth of “Apple Hill.”
In 1964 Gene Bolster, Dick Bethell, Ed Delfino and Bob Tuck formed an apple growers association, naming it “Apple Hill” and marketed it aggressively. Today visitors come to Apple Hill from all over northern California to sample apples and all things made from apples and to have a fun family outing. Christmas trees and other farm operations add to the mix. Today Apple Hill farmers are a major economic force, generating $255 million in 2015 from all sources.
A new development now threatens to virtually wipe out Apple Hill farmers. This time, though, it’s not blight or prohibition. It’s a lawsuit. If successful the lawsuit will make irrigation water so expensive that only a very few well established farmers might survive. Local farmers will pay thousands more for their water, some paying more than $100,000 extra each year, while the average residential ratepayer will save only $36 annually. Over time that $36 savings will diminish as farmers go out of business and sell their land. Eventually developers will swoop in to buy the empty land for pennies on the dollar, replacing our beautiful vineyards, orchards and Christmas tree farms with housing developments. It’s hard to fathom why anyone would willingly destroy a profitable industry, a way of life and scenic open spaces which our farms and ranches provide — all to save residential ratepayers as little as $6 on their EID bill.
In a misguided effort Darwin Throne, of El Dorado Hills, is suing to force El Dorado Irrigation District to charge the same rates to all classes of water customer, residential, schools, parks, farmers and ranchers. EID Director, Greg Prada, has been arguing to increase farm water rates since before he joined the EID board. He even pestered Howard Jarvis Taxpayers to sue EID until they ordered him to stop asking.
On Aug. 28, 2017 Prada put on a presentation at an EID board meeting, which included some very doubtful legal reasoning, claiming that EID’s rates violate Prop. 218. A few weeks later Darwin Throne, a Prada supporter, filed a claim and then a lawsuit against EID for violating Prop. 218. Amazingly, the lawsuit used the very same legal arguments Greg Prada had just presented. Coincidence?
To date EID has spent 40,000 ratepayer dollars fighting the lawsuit and expects to spend another $200,000 to $300,000, with Prada refusing to vote to authorize even the $40,000. EID feels confident about its chances of winning in court, although it’s not guaranteed. Losing the lawsuit could cost EID ratepayers millions, paying EID’s legal costs as well as Throne’s. How ironic, that a board member who masquerades as a ratepayer’s advocate is costing EID’s ratepayers so much.
Throne’s lawsuit, supported by Director Prada, presents a clear and present danger to the county’s agricultural industry and way of life. Failure to fight the lawsuit would have the same effect as losing. EID directors hold the fate of Apple Hill in their hands, deciding whether or not to fight the lawsuit. It’s critical to elect EID board candidates who guarantee that they will fight the lawsuit to preserve local farms and ranches. Director Prada has made it clear that he will not fight the lawsuit and supports ruinous water rates for our local farmers.
If you live in EID Division 2, please vote for Pat Dwyer, Greg Prada’s opponent. Pat is extremely well qualified and promises to fight the lawsuit to save Apple Hill. If you live in EID Division 4, please re-elect Director Dale Coco. Director Coco has done a great job as an EID director and guarantees that he will continue his fight to save agriculture in El Dorado County.
EID’s chances of winning the lawsuit are pretty good, but winning requires at least three EID board members to fight it. Dwyer and Coco are two who will fight to save Apple Hill.

Due to extremely dry vegetation and very high fire danger, Eldorado National Forest Supervisor Laurence Crabtree announced that additional fire restrictions will go into effect that will prohibit recreational target shooting beginning Sunday, September 9, 2018. These restrictions will be in effect through October 9, 2018, but could be extended if necessary.
"I am implementing a temporary ban on recreational shooting to provide for public safety and resource protection during hazardous conditions," said Supervisor Crabtree. "It's already extremely dry right now. Our most dangerous fire weather typically occurs in September and October which is when strong wind events tend to occur, like the one associated with the devastating fires in northern California last fall and the King Fire in September 2014."
Under the additional restrictions, target shooting will be prohibited in all areas of the Eldorado National Forest unless specifically authorized by a special use permit with the forest. Hunting with a valid State of California hunting license during hunting season is exempt from this restriction. Any federal, state or local officer or member of an organized rescue or firefighting force in the performance of an official duty is also exempt.
Fire ignitions from target shooting can by caused by sparks when bullets hit rocks or by hot metal fragments that encounter dry vegetation. The Bureau of Land Management, Motherlode field office has had restrictions on recreational target shooting in place since July 13, in areas near the Eldorado National Forest.
All other previously announced fire restrictions on the Eldorado National Forest are still in effect:
-- No wood or charcoal fires are allowed outside of exempted recreation sites (see Forest Order) even with a valid campfire permit.
-- No smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle, building or exempted recreation site.
-- Operating a welding or other torch with an open flame is prohibited.
-- Operating an internal combustion engine without a properly operating spark arrestor is prohibited.
-- Lanterns and portable stoves using gas, kerosene, jellied petroleum or pressurized liquid fuel are allowed with a valid 2018 California Campfire Permit available at www.preventwildfireca.org/Campfire-Permit or from Forest Service offices during normal business hours. (Note: This does not include gas fire pits which are not a stove or a lantern.)
-- Those with a valid 2018 wood cutting permit may cut firewood in compliance with the terms of their permit.
Several local shooting ranges provide an alternative location for recreational target shooting. Check out www.wheretoshoot.org for suggestions.
As a reminder, fireworks as well as exploding targets are never allowed in the Eldorado National Forest.

"The Deputy Sheriffs' Association (DSA) is a professional organization of more than 170 sworn law enforcement officers employed by the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office and the El Dorado County District Attorney’s Office. The DSA provides professional representation to our members and works with our various employers to ensure we attract and retain the best and brightest men and women to serve our communities. It is our belief that law enforcement is most effective when law enforcement officer's work together with the community and all branches of government to resolve community problems." President - Todd Crawford.
The Deputy Sheriffs of California's First Sheriff's Office
Established in 1850 at the peak of California's gold rush, the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office was the state's very first county sheriff's department. In those days of Black Bart, the Pony Express, and daily deployment of the "Old Hangtown" noose, the deputy sheriffs serving under County Sheriff James Hume were dedicated to keeping the peace in an environment of very few laws and far more firearms. Even then, the tradition of protecting the public without exception was established. Today celebrating its 164th year of operation, the department is now a modern agency employing the industry's best equipment and technology, and staffed by a diverse group of well-trained and professional peace officers. And in its fifth decade in the service of local law enforcement officers, the El Dorado County DSA has itself established a tradition of a providing unwavering protection of the county's working peace officers, together with a commitment to serving our county's citizens.
